Ground-level ozone (O3) is a harmful air pollutant formed in the troposphere by the interaction of sunlight with several precursor gases, mainly nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from natural and anthropogenic sources.
High O3 levels are associated with a range of adverse respiratory health effects, including aggravation of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lower lung function and infections.
Spain , France and Portugal were the countries with the largest fraction of attributable mortality caused by national O3 with respect to contributions from other European countries.
In some coastal regions and small Mediterranean countries, the contribution of shipping emissions was significant, such as Malta ( 24% ) and Cyprus ( 14% ).
